Three years ago GeekDad Ken and I, more or less on a lark, decided it might be fun to try to pull off a massive holiday giveaway. And pull it off we did. In fact, the reader response was so favorable that we decided to make the 12 Days of Geekmas an annual event. And the truth is –- while I don’t deny that it’s an enormous undertaking that really eats into our already meager free time –- we actually have a lot of fun with it as well.

The giveaways have changed over time, and the prizes have gotten progressively more extravagant every year. This year is no exception, and even the first couple of days, which we always describe as “starting small,” feature some high-caliber swag. This is thanks in big part to our sponsor, Philips.

I could go on, I suppose, about the other amazing prizes from ThinkGeek and 604 Republic, Logitech and Hasbro — among others — but I won’t. I will instead simply remind you to keep a keen eye on GeekDad beginning next Monday as we kick off our fourth annual 12 Days of Geekmas celebration.

You won’t want to miss this one!

(Note: Sadly, circumstances require that we restrict the 12 Days of Geekmas giveaways to residents of the U.S. and Canada only.)

With today’s much anticipated release of Flashpoint #1, DC Comics has released this action-packed peek at what lies in store for our altered heroes. See below for the full solicit for the issue itself… you know, just in case you’ve been living in an alternate timeline yourself, and haven’t yet checked it out.

Not a dream, not an imaginary story, not an elseworld. This is Flash Fact: When Barry Allen wakes at his desk, he discovers the world has changed. Family is alive, loved ones are strangers, and close friends are different, gone or worse. It’s a world on the brink of a cataclysmic war – but where are Earth’s Greatest Heroes to stop it? It’s a place where America’s last hope is Cyborg, who hopes to gather the forces of The Outsider, The Secret 7, S!H!A!Z!A!M!, Citizen Cold and other new and familiar-yet-altered faces! It’s a world that could be running out of time, if The Flash can’t find the villain who altered the time line!
